Loading films

Introduction
This section describes how to load the Drystar 5500 with appropriate films.
The Drystar 5500 can be loaded with 8x10", 10x12", 11x14", 14x14" and
14x17" films.
The Drystar 5500 can be loaded with new films in full daylight. Loading films is
easy and can be done in no time. Follow the procedures as described in this section.
The Drystar 5500 will inform you in several ways that an input tray is empty:
•
An audible signal,
•
the Status indicator LED is flashing (red color),
• the Unlock button LED is flashing,
• the display screen shows a message informing you that either the upper or
lower input tray is empty.
The film loading procedure is identical for both input trays. In the examples
below, we will assume that the lower input tray is to be loaded.
The procedure is slightly different, depending on the fact wether the Drystar 5500
is printing/calculating or in the ready state.
When the printer is in the ready state, go to
state:'
Never load an additional film sheet or film sheets to a film pack in use.
Only load a new film pack when the current input tray is empty.
